This extends the life of the console. What developer wants to program for a console where you can't get make make your money back? Hacks kill good games. Better to pay for your enjoyment than to have none at all. And for those that say games are too exspensive so you bootleg them. You don't have to have the games. It is that simple. You buy bootlegs because you want them and don't want to pay what they are worth.

I totally agree, although, I think they are a little on the expensive side. Maybe if they half'd the price they would sell twice as many, the profit would then remain the same and it wouldn't be worth pirating.
